I always try to use up all of the food leftover from our meals, I just
hate having to throw away food! Usually I'll turn any odds & ends into soup, but occasionally, I'll create desserts out of them. Either way, savory or sweet, those leftovers get one
last
hurrah. Like Grandma Bunni always said ~ Waste not, want not.

| Quick & Easy Rice Pudding ~ Ever have just a bit of
rice left over & nowhere to use it? Turn it into rice pudding using
a vanilla pudding mix (use instant or regular, w/sugar or w/o, it's
very versatile). In a medium sauce pan add the milk, leftover rice, some raisins &
a little cinnamon ~ simmer all together for about 10 minutes. Let the mixture cool a bit, then add the pudding mix & stir well.
Eat the rice pudding hot or cold. I sometimes add coconut extract & cardamom for
an Indian flavor. |

| Bread Pudding ~ This is a great way to use up leftover stale bread ~ I guess that's how it also got the name 'poor man's pudding'. This is one of our go-to comfort foods, we really enjoy this dessert. We'll eat it either hot or cold & sometimes we'll even have it for breakfast. Roy usually pours a bit of milk over the top ~ that's just the way he rolls. :) Check out this recipe for a light version of bread pudding, over at Food.com |
